Antoinette Frank, a former police officer convicted of a triple homicide, was asking that her death sentence be changed to life in prison, Jillian Kramer and John Simerman report. See what happened. Plea in police murder: On the northshore, the family of a police officer who was gunned down in the line of duty in 2019 headed back to court this morning to confront the man accused of the murder. No parade: A popular Metairie parade won't hit the streets in 2024 after its co-founder, Jack Spittler Sr., died in Texas recently. ‘Iconic mid-mod’: Folks of a certain, uh, vintage might recall the K&B drug stores that dotted the landscape across south Louisiana years ago.
